In Sweden, the annual average disposable income varies greatly between the different types of households. Whereas cohabiting households with children aged 20 to 29 had an average income of more than one million Swedish kronor in 2021, it was only 262,000 Swedish kronor for single women without children. The annual average household disposable income in Sweden that year was 536,600 Swedish kronor.

 Cohabiting and single households

The statistic paints a clear picture of cohabiting couples being far better off than single person households, regardless of whether they have children or not. Moreover, it is clear that cohabiting pairs with adult children, where both parents have been economically active for several years, are better off than the couples with younger children. On average, slightly more than two persons live in a Swedish household.

Most common type of household

The household with the lowest average income is also the most common type of household in Sweden. In 2022, over two million households in the country were single person households without children. Cohabiting couples without children made up the second most common type of household, followed by cohabiting couples with children.

During the first half of the past decade, the annual average disposable income of households in Sweden increased regularly year by year. However, the growth flattened since 2016, but showed an increase of 30,000 Swedish kronor from 2020 to 2021.

The household type with the highest disposable income

The type of household with the highest disposable income in Sweden during 2021 was couples cohabiting with one or more adult children from 20 to 29 years. These households had on average a disposable income of more than one million Swedish kronor.

 Single-person household had the lowest disposable income

The most common type of households in Sweden in 2022 were single-person households without children, followed by cohabiting or married couples without children. Single-person households in 2021 were the household type that had the lowest average disposable income, amounting to 280,000 Swedish kronor. Single-women households without children had a lower average income than single-men.
